Today's Stand-off...

The den was a wreck and it was just about lunch-time...To get some help I told the boys that they had to clean up the cars that they dumped and then they could have peanut butter and jelly for lunch... Jaxson--no problem, he went over to his bin and cleaned up his cars.. David decided that he would sit next to the bin and on top of the pile of cars. When Jaxson finished cleaning up his pile, him and I went into the kitchen, I made him PBJ and he ate. David sat on his cars with a "Bull-dog" face. He did this for approx. 5-10 min. All this time, I spent in the kitchen w/ Jaxson and said nothing to him. Next thing I hear is him throwing cars in the bin...Video gets the rest....

So, what's happened in the last month... Snow*Snow*Snow...

Lots of snow--3 Ft of snow! The boys of course loved it, sledding, making snow tunnels and snow "walls"--that were suppose to be Forts.. lol.. Other than that, we all have been keeping busy in our house, with the transition of bedrooms-preparing for the addition. Mike has recently found a new job which he started last week and its going well. He also has found a 2nd "past-time" which is Tree Clean-up... Not sure what to call it, but its certainly working out well. Braeden is mentally preparing for his 7th birthday-reminding me daily that I need to plan his party.. and the Twins.. well, every day is different and new. They recently have been loving to do puzzles and doing them very well. Still reading, with Mike going back to work, I have tried some new routines with the boys, fitting reading and other activities into my work schedule. Practicing our colors, they have blue down pat, mixing up some of the others--yet some days getting them right:) Numbers--2 and 6! so if you ask them to count-they can say those! Communication wise, not a problem-the tattle tailing has begun, as well as fighting in sentences. Naps, we now have straight jackets--aka overalls, as they are the only thing they can't get off. Yea not fun walking into a mess, if you catch my drift... They know that mommy has a baby is her belly, and the bigger I get, the more David asks me--Belly Hurt--so I have to explain to him that no it does not hurt. "Austin"... He is kicking lots! More than any of the others.. Is this a sign of what's to come...?
